There are allways jobs for people who are WILLING to work. They may not be great paying jobs, Heck just ask a few million illegal aliens. They dont seem to have trouble finding work.

In the 1980s I never had trouble finding farm work while lots of guys I knew sat around and complained that there were no jobs to be had. I had to work my butt off but at least I was not on well fare.

As soon as i was old enough I joined the ARMY and now 22 tears later I am getting ready to retire from it and I will have another job lined up before I get out.

So dont tell me there are NO jobs. Swallow your pride and get off your ass and find something. Even flipping burgers is better than welfare

What I really want to know is WHERE is all the aid from other countries??? If this happened elsewhere in the world we would be sending billions in aid..... There are a couple countries that have sent some equipment but they will be well compensated..... When we send disaster aid we ask nothing in return...

Tell me am I off base on this or is this a accurate assessment??????

By the Federal definition he is NOT a vet. Just becuase he Went to basic Traing and play army on the week ends does not qualify him for Veteran status.

Definition of a “veteran”
Pursuant to M.G.L. c. 32, §1, and c. 4, §7, cl.43, you qualify as a veteran if you meet ONE of the following three requirements:

1) You have at least 180 days of regular active duty service and you were honorably discharged or released.

2) You have at least 90 days of active duty service, at least one day of which was during wartime per the chart below, and you were honorably discharged or released.

If you do not Qualify for what the regulations defines as a Veteran, Than you are being disHonest by refering to yourself as a VET and you do a great disservice to the the people who do qualify for that status.

I have more than 19 Years active Duty time With more than 4 Years in a combat zone, and 3 years on remote tours. I am tired of these these Polititions who spent a couple weeks a year playing ARMY using the credibility of REAL Vets to further their careers.

Please Dont misunderstand me, I hold the reserves and National Guard in the higest regaurd. I am a former reservest myself.

There has to be a standard to be qualified as a veteran and I believe the Current regulation is DAMN Fair.

2) You have at least 90 days of active duty service, at least one day of which was during wartime per the chart below, and you were honorably discharged or released.

so, if a reservist gets called up on active duty for at least 180 days he is by definition a vet.

FEDERAL DEFINITION: under Federal Law a VETERAN is any person, who served honorably on active duty in the armed forces of the United States. (Discharges marked GENERAL AND UNDER HONORABLE CONDITIONS also qualify.)

Unless he served Active duty time during his time in the reserves then He is not considered a veteran according to Federal Law. Of course he has indicated more than once that Federal LAW do not mean much to him.

I am a soldier currently in Iraq and work with many reservist. They are serving Active duty Time Just like me and derserve to be called VETERANS.

Some one who never deployed, And never served on Active duty time other than Basic Training does NOT Deserve to be counted in the Same category as these soldiers.

How many career Polititions have served in the reserves and National Gaurd just to get that little boost??
